Abstract
The 100th anniversary of International Women's Day was marked on 8 March 2011. A day born of women's intense struggle to attain a foothold in politics, the 100th anniversary was the occasion of much reflection on the role of women in the political process and the future of feminist politics more generally. I was very fortunate to have been able to participate in a seminar on the history of International Women's Day sponsored by the State Library and Macquarie University, and to introduce Professor Eva Cox at a NSW History Council event to celebrate the centenary at the Museum of Sydney. As always, Eva gave us much to think about in her speech that considered the future of feminism and the role that feminists should play in the politics of the next 100 years. The questions she posed in her lecture titled ‘The Next Hundred Years’ I believe are well worth considering here. As feminist scholars struggling with the neo-liberal politics of the academy we are often too busy to reflect on exactly how feminism might transform the political landscape, even while we remain deeply committed to exploring feminist paradigms in our own research.
